Mumbai, Feb 13: Eight months since construction work began, Thane Coastal Road-1 has crossed a major milestone, with over 50% of the foundation work for the elevated viaduct now complete and pier cap and I-girder erection progressing rapidly, as per the MMRDA official statement issued on Friday, February 13. The 13.45 km, six-lane, access-controlled greenfield corridor is being built using cutting-edge engineering. For the first time in India, a greenfield road project is using a single-pile, single-pier system with monopile foundations on land. Project progress update As per the MMRDA, the overall project achieved progress up to January 2026 by 20% within the elevated (viaduct) portion, 50% foundation work has been completed by adopting innovative design and construction techniques. : ! - . % - . https://t.co/a8HDY54PzE MMRDA (@MMRDAOfficial) February 13, 2026 Strategic freight corridor The project is designed as a strategic freight corridor, which will decongest Ghodbunder Road and improve connectivity between NH-160 (MumbaiNashik Highway) and Gaimukh along the Thane Creek coastline, with major stretches on viaducts and bridges to safeguard the sensitive mangrove ecosystem. At Gaimukh, the road will directly connect with the upcoming GaimukhFountain Hotel Tunnel, enabling seamless ThaneBhayander connectivity. Together, these projects will significantly decongest Ghodbunder Road, transform urban mobility in Thane, and strengthen freight movement towards Vadhawan Port, JNPT, South Maharashtra and Karnataka, as per the MMRDA. Need for the new alignment The project starts near Balkum at Kharegaon toll plaza on the MumbaiNashik Highway (old NH-3) and ends at Gaimukh. The road experiences heavy commercial traffic, often leading to traffic congestion and frequent jams. Moreover, the ongoing urbanisation along Ghodbunder Road has substantially increased passenger traffic, further exacerbating the situation. The heavy commercial vehicles like trucks and trailers have led to a decline in the road's level of service, resulting in recurring traffic bottlenecks and congestion. It is therefore proposed to provide a new road (greenfield alignment) along the coastline of the Thane Creek so that the commercial traffic on Ghodbunder Road can be separated. Integration with future infrastructure The corridor will also integrate with key future infrastructure projects including the Thane Ring Metro, Thane Coastal Road-2, the SaketAmane Elevated Corridor, and the KasarvadavaliKharbhav Road. M/s Navayuga Engineering Company Limited has been appointed as the contractor on December 18, 2024, and M/s TEC4 Ingenieros India Private Limited in association with M/s Yooshin Engineering Corporation has been appointed as the Project Management Consultant (PMC). Also Watch: Thane: MMRDA Coastal Road-1 Project Hits Key Engineering Milestone With 50% Foundation Completion Salient features Length of alignment: 13.450 km Work completion period = 48 months (12 months for Design / Environmental Clearance) + (36 months for Construction) Defects Liability Period (DLP) = 24 months Project cost: Rs 2,727 Cr To get details on exclusive and budget-friendly property deals in Mumbai & surrounding regions, do visit: https://budgetproperties.in/
